Thank you for this post Mr. Pauling.

As I have contemplated the life of the ‘creature’ or ‘wretch’, a tragedy he was not even afforded a name, I believe what Mrs. Shelley was attempting to convey was that despite God providing him with sustenance, intelligence, curiosity, etc. his life was not worth living without being able to love or be loved by others. Assuming God would still provide and care for the creation of his creation which I believe He would.
This is a real situation for many human beings alive today and no doubt at the time the story was written. If you have never experienced what it is like to be shunned and discarded for the way that you look alone, especially by the opposite sex, you will never understand the hopelessness that ensues despite the love and hope provided through suffering and perseverance by the Holy Spirit. Who are we to question God’s reasons for creating as He does? The Word says some are made for special purposes, but living a life forced to abscond from the hatred of human beings, leaves one with slim alternatives to destruction or to fulfill a purpose other than serve as an example of pity and fear. Many have told similar stories, none have yet to imbed their lesson into the hearts of mankind. Hope remains a distant fantasy for those created to live this way.
